( day 3 )

[ Up to the nearest terminal she goes. Just spoke with Alice?, so there's a lot on her mind about this. She makes sure to find a terminal with no one really around (is that even possible), but for the most part, she types fairly easily without any fear. ]

Judy. We have to talk. I was thinking about this whole thing and you know, as much as you're probably playing both sides of this coin, I'm going to need something from you if you expect this show to last past Act I.

[ Although Elizabeth reads through the text fairly quickly... it's as if she couldn't believe her own eyes. It's something that's not quite as expected, but it's heinous. The augment of strength since leaving Columbia came to a crashing halt here. The vulnerability is obvious but, this... is a heavy burden. One, with Diva's death, that she feels a growing responsibility for. ]

I'd ask what their research entails... but I'm sure you're unable to. If this is all you can offer for assistance, to take your will into action... Thanks, I suppose. Just know - the more you can offer us, the better we can work.

... I don't trust anyone here, so good thing I'll keep this between us girls.

[ She's not sure what else she can get, but she figures - well, she might as well just assert herself... Especially when talking about the futures - ]

Then you know what I was capable of before - before I was brought here with more pinky than memories. If you know my future, my past - you'll know I fight with every ounce of my being to fight what fate has been decided for me. It's moot point, but hey - guess you picked the right person for the job.

And that is why I asked if it mattered. The results of their research are ultimately inconsequential. But I have no choice but to facilitate it. Perhaps in time, you will find out why. Or perhaps not. I've become a bit jaded to the process.

But that is why I'm giving you a chance. I'd like for things to go differently.

I don't know if the odds will be in your favor. But I do know that you're speaking the truth. So I can only wish you luck.

I don't have time, Judy. That's the difference between me and these... scientists.

Thanks for the chance, I'll see what I can do. Just know this won't be the only time I come to you like this. I refuse to believe this is a constant.

[ Whether that means anything to the woman on the other end of the terminal has remained to be seen... but for her? It means the world. ]

You have more time than you think.

You're welcome, Elizabeth. I wish you the best of luck.
